Matt Rogers
Matt Rogers grew up in Gastonia, North Carolina, a bit to the west of Charlotte. He graduated from Campbell University in 1999, then moved to Blacksburg, Virginia, home of the Virginia Tech Hokies. He lives and works there still. Matt lost his diploma in the move to Virginia and has never seen it since. He promises he did graduate with a Communication degree.
After a few years as a radio announcer and program director, Matt hung up his headphones to join the staff of New Life Christian Fellowship, the church where he was ordained a pastor in 2006.
Matt’s long-held dream of becoming a published author came true in 2008. He has two books under his belt—When Answers Aren’t Enough: Experiencing God as Good When Life Isn’t (Zondervan, April 2008) and Losing God: Clinging to Faith through Doubt and Depression (InterVarsity, November 2008)—with hopes of writing many more.
“The world is awful, yes, but it is not only awful. It is wonderful as well.”
“The choice is ours to hear the echoes, to heed the call: when life isn't good, taste and see that the Lord is.”
“I must look for the Lord's reflection in the sea; otherwise all I see is water.”
